Summary
The Occupation had a hangover， but still the Occupation went to work。
Tokyo， July 1949， President Shimoyama， Head of the National Railways of Japan， goes missing just a day after serving notice of 30，000 job losses。 In the midst of the US Occupation， against the backdrop of widespread social， political and economic reforms - as tensions and confusion reign - American Detective Harry Sweeney leads the missing person's investigation for General MacArthur's GHQ。
Some men go mad， some men go missing 。
Fifteen years later and Tokyo is booming。 As the city prepares for the 1964 Olympics and the global spotlight， Hideki Murota， a former policeman during the Occupation period， and now a private investigator， is given a case which forces him to go back to confront a time， a place and a crime he's been hiding from for the past fifteen years。
Some men do both 。
Over twenty years later， in the autumn and winter of 1988， as the Emperor Showa is dying， Donald Reichenbach， an aging American， eking out a living teaching and translating， sits drinking by the Shinobazu Pond in Ueno， knowing the final reckoning of the greatest mystery of the Showa Era is down to him。

Firstly， I haven't read the other books in the series but I'm definitely planning to now。 I had a real love-hate relationship with the almost 'forensic' writing style mostly deployed here。 At times - particularly the closing chapters - I found it greatly added to the tension and conveyed the fractured states of mind of the main characters。 At others I had to stop myself from skim reading。 Ultimately， the respites from this style helped and the story triumphed。 4。5 stars Firstly， I haven't read the other books in the series but I'm definitely planning to now。 I had a real love-hate relationship with the almost 'forensic' writing style mostly deployed here。 At times - particularly the closing chapters - I found it greatly added to the tension and conveyed the fractured states of mind of the main characters。 At others I had to stop myself from skim reading。 Ultimately， the respites from this style helped and the story triumphed。 4。5 stars 。。。more

I've been waiting a long time to read the final part of the Tokyo Trilogy， as with most of Peace's work it's not an easy read but rewarding if you stick with it。 While you could read it as a stand alone novel the references back to the previous two books make it sensible to read those first if possible。 I've been waiting a long time to read the final part of the Tokyo Trilogy， as with most of Peace's work it's not an easy read but rewarding if you stick with it。 While you could read it as a stand alone novel the references back to the previous two books make it sensible to read those first if possible。 。。。more

A book you have to concentrate on - 3 different parts， 3 different ways of telling the tale。 Blinked and missed how the characters ended up as they did at the end of part 2。 Took some getting used to his repetitive style and can imagine it might get on the nerves of some。 Still， I liked it， hence the 5 stars…

"Una muerte provocada por causas no naturales sin esclarecer aún nos lleva a plantearnos si existe el crimen perfecto。 David Peace， como hizo en las dos primeras partes de la Trilogía de Tokio （Tokio， año cero y Ciudad ocupada）， parte de sucesos reales que sucedieron en el Japón ocupado por las fuerzas aliadas al término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para recrear la atmósfera donde vencedores y vencidos «convivieron»。En la historia más reciente de Japón （los hechos ocurrieron entre los meses de "Una muerte provocada por causas no naturales sin esclarecer aún nos lleva a plantearnos si existe el crimen perfecto。 David Peace， como hizo en las dos primeras partes de la Trilogía de Tokio （Tokio， año cero y Ciudad ocupada）， parte de sucesos reales que sucedieron en el Japón ocupado por las fuerzas aliadas al término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para recrear la atmósfera donde vencedores y vencidos «convivieron»。En la historia más reciente de Japón （los hechos ocurrieron entre los meses de julio y agosto de 1949）， la primero desaparición y después muerte de Sanadori Shimoyama， presidente de la red nacional de ferrocarriles de Japón， junto con el atropello provocado por un tren sin maquinista en la estación de Mitaka （Tokio） y el descarrilamiento de un tren de pasajeros de Matsukawa （Fukushima） ꟷlos llamados «Tres Grandes Misterios de los Ferrocarriles Nacionales Japoneses»ꟷ provocaron pánico en un país ocupado en el que ya nadie confiaba en nadie， y en el que a día de hoy no se han presentado conclusiones concluyentes。La novela se divide en tres períodos con sendos antihéroes intentando descubrir qué le ocurrió a Shimoyama， hombre ya con un fatídico sino al ser el encargado de ser la persona responsable de despedir a 30。000 empleados justo el día anterior a que todo empezara。" Amatulláh Hussein 。。。more
